Detectives arrested a Chino Hills man they suspect is linked to a string of burglaries in Brea, Chino, Upland and Pomona after he was found in possession of about $30,000 in stolen property in his home Wednesday, according to San Bernardino County sheriff’s officials.

Gustavo Roberto Villalobos, 35, was arrested at his home Wednesday on suspicion of commercial burglary and possession of known stolen property, officials said.

Authorities with the Chino Hills sheriff’s station began a burglary investigation on Aug. 15 after it was learned someone had broken into a commercial building in the 5800 block of Pine Avenue in Chino Hills and stole a laptop worth $1,200, a news release said. Surveillance footage at the business showed more than one person was involved in the break-in. Through an investigation, authorities identified Villalobos as one of the burglars, the statement said.

Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Villalobos and on Sept. 12, detectives went to the 35-year-old’s home where they found stolen property, officials said.

Detectives learned Villalobos was on parole for a previous criminal conviction, officials said. He is being held without bail at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
